Description
Polyethylene Cut-Off Riser TBE
Polyethylene Cut-Off Riser TBE provides a straight threaded riser connection with male-threaded ends for compatible piping components. The threaded-both-ends configuration allows the riser to connect between appropriately sized female-threaded interfaces.
The Polyethylene Cut-Off Riser TBE combines polyethylene construction with a threaded riser configuration for applications requiring a straight extension between compatible threaded components. Selection should account for nominal size, riser length, mating thread compatibility, system conditions, and proper installation procedures.

Cut-Off Riser Design
The cut-off riser design provides a straight extension between compatible threaded piping components. Its riser-style body allows additional connection height or length to be incorporated into the piping arrangement.
The nominal size and required riser length should be confirmed before ordering. Proper alignment should be maintained so the riser is not used to compensate for major piping misalignment.
Threaded Both Ends
The TBE configuration provides male-threaded connections at both ends of the riser. Each end is intended to engage an appropriately sized compatible female-threaded component.
Threads should be clean and properly aligned before assembly. Compatible sealing materials and appropriate threaded-plastic installation procedures should be used while avoiding excessive tightening.
Riser Extension Connection
The riser extension configuration provides additional straight connection length between threaded components. This can be useful where piping or equipment elevation requires a longer threaded extension.
Both adjoining connections should align naturally with the riser before final tightening. Proper support should be provided so external loads are not transferred to the threaded polyethylene component.
Polyethylene Application
A Polyethylene Cut-Off Riser TBE provides a straight threaded extension for compatible piping systems. Its threaded-both-ends configuration allows connection between two appropriately sized female-threaded components.
System temperature, pressure, fluid compatibility, thread compatibility, required riser length, and applicable installation procedures should be reviewed for the intended application. Proper piping support should be maintained around both threaded connections.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify the TBE configuration.
- Confirm the required riser length.
- Check mating thread compatibility.
- Avoid excessive threaded tightening.

Our piping specialists can help review nominal size, riser length, threaded-both-ends configuration, mating thread compatibility, and installation considerations before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Polyethylene Cut-Off Riser TBE used for?
It provides a straight threaded riser extension between compatible female-threaded piping components.
What does TBE mean?
TBE means threaded both ends, indicating male-threaded connections on both ends of the riser.
What connects to each end?
Each male-threaded end connects to an appropriately sized compatible female-threaded component.
What is the purpose of the riser configuration?
The riser provides additional straight connection length or height between compatible threaded components.
How should the threaded connections be installed?
Use compatible sealing materials and appropriate threaded-plastic installation procedures while avoiding excessive tightening.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm nominal size, polyethylene construction, TBE configuration, required riser length, and mating thread compatibility.
